New, never-before-seen footage of Khaleesi, the first de-extinct female dire wolf, growing up. Here’s a rare look at months 1 through 3—from socialization to the start of the ranking phase. She’s growing fast, but if she gets any cuter we’re printing calendars. | Colossal Biosciences

Dire wolves prowled the Earth around 300,000 years ago, but thanks to fossil records—and Game of Thrones—their legend lives on. | National Geographic

Dire Wolves: First Footage Released Following our report on the return of the dire wolf, we are now sharing video footage of Romulus and Remus. These two animals were created by Colossal Biosciences using ancient DNA and precision genome engineering. The footage covers their first five months of life inside a 2,000-acre secure preserve. Every stage of their development has been closely monitored. This represents a significant step in the use of genetic science for conservation. We thank Colossal

Dire wolves went extinct 10,000 years ago, but now a genetic engineering company has brought back a very close approximation of the wolves using DNA extracted from two fossils. | Access

WATCH: FIRST DIRE WOLF HOWL AFTER OVER 10,000 YEARS 🐺 Colossal Biosciences gives a glimpse of the first howl of a dire wolf in over 10,000 years as they reveal the world’s first de-extinct animals Romulus and Remus, who were born on October 1, 2024. “These two wolves were brought back from extinction using genetic edits derived from a complete dire wolf genome, meticulously reconstructed by Colossal from ancient DNA found in fossils dating back 11,500 and 72,000 years,” according to the America
